Velocity of the ball (v) = 22.2 m/s
Distance from the base of the building where the ball falls (d) = 36.0m
We know that, Velocity (v) = distance (d) / time (t)
From the above equation,
Time (t) = distance (d) / velocity (v)
Substituting the values for distance and velocity in the above equation,
Time = 36.0/22.2 = 1.62 seconds

When the ball is falling down, it accelerates due to gravity
This acceleration (a) = 9.8 m/s²

Now we need to find the height of the building.
The equation of motion for an object with constant acceleration is,
s = ut + 1/2 at²
Where,
s = vertical displacement, which is height of the building in our case
u = initial velocity of the ball = 0

Substituting all the above values in the equation of motion,
s = (0 × 1.62) + (1/2 × 9.8 × 1.62²)
s = 0 + (25.72/2) = 12.86 m = 12.9 m which is the height of the building

Therefore the building is 12.9m tall

If an object has a mass of 38 kg, what is its approximate weight on earth?
klasskru [66]
38*10=380 N
To be more exact, 38 should be multiplied by 9.8 instead of 10.

A force of 20. Newtons to the left exerted on a cart for 10. Seconds. For what period of time must a 50.-newton force to the rig
FinnZ [79.3K]
Impulse = (force) x (time)

The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec

The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so

(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec

Divide each side by 50N :    Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>

By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.

if abus travelling at 20m/s is subject to steady decceleration of 5m/s².how long will it take yo come to rest.​
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-5 m/s²) t + 20 m/s

t = 4 s

Suppose astronomers discover a type-M star with a very large luminosity. What type of star is it likely to be
lianna [129]

Answer: A red supergiant

Explanation:

Red supergiants are the stars that have a supergiant luminosity which has a class of either K or M spectral type. In terms of volume, they are regarded as the largest stars on Earth even though they are not the most luminous.

Red supergiants are formed when a star collapses after the hydrogen fuel that the star has in its core runs out and

then fusion begins when the outer shells of hydrogen gets hot.
